Clay Caissie, aka The Bearded Wonder, is another one of my great friends who I've had the honor of knowing. He's family. He's the kind of friend who I could do life with until I'm old and gray. Clay has taught me more about being a true servant than anyone I've ever known. He lives a self-less life, and anyone that has ever met him can attest to that.

He is the reason I own twelve black pocket t-shirts and wear them 95% of the time...with slight wardrobe exceptions made on Sunday and Date Night. He read somewhere from a monk about simplicity...got rid of his clothes...bought twelve army green shirts...two pairs of pants...a beanie...and some flip-flops. He wanted to simplify his wardrobe in such a way that he didn't have to worry about what he wore each day. He now knows what he will look like everyday when he wakes up. I implemented this technique almost two years ago, and it's the most freeing thing I've done in a long time. However, like me, his endless supply of bags, gadgets, and iphone chargers is another story :)

Clay has recently made the switch to all black, and he looks freaking kick A if you ask me. I recently got to hang out with him in Nashville over Thanksgiving and catch up on life. it was a great time of laughter, good food, beer, and brotherhood. I am hoping we can talk him into moving to Austin real soon...we'll see how it goes. You can find him on twitter @_beardedwonder.

Here are some shots I took of him while we were hanging out in Nashville.
